Investigations Do's & Don'ts
DO...
A true orb gives off it's on light source. Look to see if the orb is reflecting on a glass surface such as a TV, window, mirror, or picture frame. If you don't have any way to show it has it's own light source....you can't call it evidence....unless it is REALLY impressive and unique.
DON'T...
This is a big one. It takes a lot to convince that a spot on a picture is paranormal. 99% of the time it is not paranormal. A white/brown/or orange, transparent, spot on a picture is not paranormal. It is dust, pollen, mold, moisture, rain, sleet, or snow. But it probably isn't an "orb."
DO...
Do attempt to locate the unexplained noise. Do attempt to find a logical explanation for the noise before labeling it paranormal.
DON'T...
Do not run from an unexplained noise! Nothing is going to hurt you. If you run, your in the wrong business.
DO...
Allow what ever you are trying to make contact with communicate in a natural way. EVP sessions are one of the best ways to catch communication from the other side.
DON'T...
Most paranormal groups advise against any use of communication boards, seances, divination of any kind. Things do not always turn out good and you may bite off more than you bargained for. An investigator should never open someone's home to this type of activity without prior knowledge and approval.
